Lieff Cabraser partner Tiseme Zegeye recently served as chairperson of a Practising Law Institute (PLI) program titled “Fertility Negligence: Successful Litigation Strategies and Considerations.”
The one-hour program examined the progression of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) industry and the complex state and federal regulations governing it. The discussion also addressed disturbing trends including the growing consolidation of medical device manufacturers and the increasing role of private equity investment in both manufacturing and clinic ownership.
Tiseme spoke alongside Tracey B. Cowan of Clarkson Law Firm. Together, they shared insights and strategies for litigating fertility negligence cases, including claims involving embryo loss, clinic errors, and other forms of reproductive harm.
